I came out of a 2008 Camry SE, I loved that car, it was totaled so I went with a 2009 Camry Hybrid fully loaded. I'm 6' 4" and its a perfect fit. Lots of room. The car shows 36-37 per gallons avg. never better then 37.6mpg

We bought the Camry at 77k on it 6 years ago and just turned 104k on it... But now we are retired and downsizing to one vehicle... we traded it in for a 2019 Highlander. All we've ever done to it is replace tires and do routine maintenence. The stereo and navigation is good but outdated now. A backup camera would have been nice. Acceleration is a blast... getting "unintended" hole shots at lights or chirping the tires pulling onto the highway is hilarious. The hybrid electric boost is quite surprizing. But now let it idle at stop lights or parking lots and the battery warning light comes on. Gas mileage was dropping off too into the mid 20's to lo 30's... where a gas only Camry lives. The days of 36 to 43 mpg are gone. At last check a battery pack sells for $3700. The leather interior was still in great shape even after carting grandkids around and going on long road trips... I'm 6'1" and the back seat is comfortable and rear leg room is great. The sunroof trim and plastic in some places developed this annoying buzz that echoed and was hard to locate... we eliminated one buzz by pinching the sunroof trim. We also got mysterious tire inflation warnings that twice messed up a couple trips to find nothing wrong. But all in all the Camry was a great car... and I would not hesitate recommending one. My only regret is the dealer low balling the trade in value to find they flipped it for 5 times that.

Dangers of Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror

In the daylight, it works like an ordinary mirror, but at nighttime it works like a strobe. In city driving each time you pass a lit sign it decides whether to darken or stay in daytime mode. There's a lag time in its transformation, resulting in blinding light reflecting in your eyes when you pass a sign, followed by the mirror darkening, then going back to daytime mode just in time for the next lit sign, thus blinding you again. On the highway, when a car is directly behind you the mirror stays in the nighttime mode, when that car changes lanes the mirror switches to daytime mode and you're blinded by the next car until it gets close enough to activate the nighttime mode.

I live in Minnesota and have had my Camry Hybrid during both a warm summer and a very cold snowy winter. I averaged 39-42 MPG during the summer and 28-34 MPG during the winter. One review from ORLY said he was only getting 26-28 MPG caused me to write this review. I can't even imagine how a person could get such low MPG numbers. I have the leather heated seats, they are very comfortable on a long drive. My only complaint is I get a faint noise through my drivers window when fully closed. The stereo with the bluetooth is fantastic both in sound and function. What ever gas prices are at the time the way I look at it I have cut the price of gas in half. This car has more room than my VolvoS80.

No fancy but reliable

Hands down this has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Other than a water pump around 120k, nothing but oil changes and tires. It even still has original brakes at 185k. Cheap, quiet and comfy. Not fancy or performance, but will laugh all the way to the Bank.
